This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 1074

Chapter 1074 Charles’ Persistence

‘Why do you guys care if he sounds cool or not? Aren’t we here to get some evidence? Where’s the evidence?’ There were a lot of netizens who were fangirling over Charles, while some of them were more focused on the main point. That was why some netizens reminded the rest that they were there searching for evidence. The rest of the netizens quickly responded to this.

‘That’s right. We were looking for evidence. How did we get distracted?’ someone commented. ‘I can’t help it. President Lane is an entertainer—his presence attracted all of our attention. Shrug’

‘Charles, Miss Reed said that the male lead of this matter will make a public statement about this, President Lane. Are you admitting that you’re the male lead of this whole gossip that’s going on? Where’s the evidence? Why aren’t you giving it to us?’ one comment asked.

‘Yeah,’ another one agreed. Charles saw the comments he had been mentioned in and tapped on them to reply to the netizens’ messages. ‘Don’t worry. There’ll be no lack of evidence. I was too furious earlier, so I only posted a bunch of words without providing the evidence. I’ll post it now, so you guys will just have to refresh my profile.’

The moment Charles posted his reply, all of the netizens twisted their faces into looks of exasperation. They were speechless. What? How could he forget such a thing? But the netizens could tell that Charles was genuinely furious. They refreshed Charles’ page while chuckling at his comment. As promised, there was a new post the next time they refreshed it. The post’s content was simple and straightforward—it was a single sentence and a video. ‘Here’s the evidence you guys want,’ it said, along with a link to a video.

All the netizens clicked on the link to look at the evidence without hesitation. When they saw the video, they immediately knew that it was a copy of the CCTV footage. The footage showed Sonia and Charles getting out of the car and walking directly into the hotel. A bellboy stepped forward and led them into a room. Then, the footage switched to show another angle of them walking toward their room and entering it. Alas, since the CCTVs were located along the corridors, they couldn’t show the full view of the room.

After the video showed Sonia and Charles entering the room, the netizens realized that another person was already in the room. Of course, most netizens couldn’t recognize the person, but a few more knowledgeable netizens immediately knew who the man in the room was. He was the man who had stepped forward to prove that the rumors were false—he was Brian, the governor of the Bank of Caruna’s headquarters in Seafield.

Soon after that, Sonia and Charles sat opposite the governor. The CCTV was fast-forwarded—the left corner of the video showed the time moving at a faster pace. The video went on for another five minutes before the netizens saw Sonia and Charles getting to their feet. They shook hands with Brian before leaving the room. But the netizens weren’t idiots—they knew that Sonia and Charles couldn’t have stayed in the room for just five minutes.

The video had been fast-forwarded so that it seemed like Sonia and Charles were only in the room for five minutes, and this was done so that the netizens would be able to watch the whole clip easily. Otherwise, they’d have to stare at their screens for a few hours! Either way, the video made it clear that Sonia and Charles hadn’t left the room when they entered it, so the netizens didn’t care if they fast-forwarded the video.

Even though many netizens were familiar with how he communicated on the Internet, they were still speechless. But, of course, this didn’t last for long—they went back to commenting after a while. ‘Oh, so they ruined the CCTV footage. That explains why they were so prepared to start these rumors. As President Lane said, they probably assumed that they couldn’t retrieve the CCTV footage,’ one comment wrote.

‘Ah… It seems like Miss Lore and the people working with Squirrel Media are pretty dumb. I can’t believe they don’t know that CCTV footage can be recovered.’ The netizens started teasing the people who created the rumors. Amidst the friendly and playful comments were a few that sounded a little harsher.

‘Am I the only one who wants to know why President Lane and Miss Reed have to meet and discuss work at a hotel? Can’t they do it somewhere else? Why did they have to pick a hotel out of all the places? Isn’t that just rather puzzling?’ In other words, this comment implied that Charles and Sonia had ulterior motives for deciding to have a meeting in a hotel. The other netizens were infuriated by this comment and were about to attack this person when Charles responded with a long text.

‘What’s so puzzling about it? If you’re dirty-minded, the whole world looks dirty to you. Let me tell you why we picked a hotel and not somewhere else. It’s because this hotel is the only seven-star hotel in our area. We wanted to ask Mr. Smith for some help, and we were the ones who invited him for a meet-up, so we naturally wanted a place with a better environment. We wanted to show our sincerity to ensure we’d achieve our goals!’
